1 Corinthians 7:23-24

MSG

NIV

23 All of you, slave and free both, were once held hostage in a sinful society. Then a huge sum was paid out for your ransom. So please don't, out of old habit, slip back into being or doing what everyone else tells you.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
24 Friends, stay where you were called to be. God is there. Hold the high ground with him at your side.
24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
